Rong Qingqing's heart trembled slightly, but she tried to remain calm and said, "Besides being Rong Shiqing's daughter, what other background could I have?"
Xie Jingrun stared into her eyes.
In fact, after she told him that she knew about his background that day, he had someone investigate her.
However, no matter how much he investigated, he couldn't find out that she had another background. Later, he deliberately handed over the power of managing the family to her in order to observe her behavior in secret. He found that she was completely different from before.
He initially thought she was a scheming person who had deliberately impersonated Rong Qingqing, but based on his observations, she didn't seem like it.
Although she was somewhat fond of money, she didn't have any ambitions. At least for now, he couldn't see any other motives she might have.
Besides managing the household affairs of the Marquis's mansion, she spent her days wandering around the shops.
All the things he did were trivial, and none of them were related to matters of the court.
Thinking of this, he hesitated again.
But if she didn't have another identity, how did she know about his background?
Why imply that Xiangzi is the Empress's man?
What is her ultimate goal?
Rong Qingqing sensed that he still harbored suspicion towards her, so she continued, "My lord, you should know that when I entered your Xie family that day, because the old lord suddenly passed away, I was beaten unconscious for a moment."
Xie Jingrun was taken aback and looked at her.
Rong Qingqing smiled bitterly, "Actually, you know that I encountered too many things during that time, and I was already in despair. When I fainted that day, I was already on the verge of death, but just when I thought I was going to die, a golden light suddenly struck me, and some things entered my mind. Why was I so afraid of ghosts that night in your courtyard? It was because of this experience that I believe that ghosts exist in this world."
Xie Jingrun frowned. "You mean, on that day, you learned many things that others didn't?"
Rong Qingqing nodded. "Yes."
Xie Jingrun sneered, "You're really something. Do you think everyone else is a fool? You dare to use ghosts and gods to confuse the public and extricate yourself."
Seeing his disbelief, Rong Qingqing felt a pang of exhaustion. "I didn't lie to you, it really is like this. Although I know many things, I could have kept quiet to avoid arousing your suspicion, but knowing the Emperor is in danger, I couldn't just stand by and do nothing..."
"What do you mean?" Xie Jingrun frowned, abruptly interrupting her. "What danger might the Emperor be in?"
Rong Qingqing gritted her teeth and decided to tell the whole story directly. "The reason I made up that story is because I know that Xiangzi is a pawn that the Empress placed by the Emperor's side. But she has never used him. However, during this trip to Jiulong Mountain, she wanted Xiangzi to poison the Emperor."
A look of surprise flashed in Xie Jingrun's eyes. "How do you know all this?"
“As I said before, because I almost died that time, I gained a little bit of precognitive ability,” Rong Qingqing said without changing her expression. “But I don’t know everything. Only occasionally does a flash of inspiration come to me and I suddenly know some things.”
"How do I know if you're just fooling me?" Xie Jingrun frowned, still finding her words unbelievable.
